Ultimately, finding the ideal candidates at all levels of the business and setting them into work with permanent contracts is the objective. We have worked with Lauren for just over 4 years and business continues to grow. We have particular niche requirements for our industry; filtering and screening prospective employees for long term suitability takes significant time and resource. We endorse the team for their efforts and collaboration during this time. Lauren's work ethic is aligned to our company's needs. Lauren sets a high bar for the team who are responsive to our requirements and proactive with contacting members of team across all functions of the business.

We've worked with Oliver Rae since 2022 after being recommended by another local business, and it was easy to see why. From supporting us through a major relocation, assisting with a takeover project, and helping to fill both temporary and permanent positions along the way, Lauren and her team have consistently delivered.
What stands out most is their friendly, down to earth approach, what you see is what you get and their 'nothing is too much trouble' attitude. In our line of work, we need people who are reliable and capable - especially as our manufacturing involves intricate parts and processes. Lauren understands exactly the calibre of staff we require, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure we get the right fit...even on weekends and during holidays!
When we need a job done, we need it done well and that's exactly what we get from Oliver Rae.

"I have used Oliver Rae from when they first set up as an agency, I can honestly say nothing has ever been too much trouble for them. They work around the clock to make sure the candidates they put into our company are the right fit for us.
We have several sites across the country and although they are based in the West Midlands, they have gone above and beyond to make sure that all our Warehouse Operatives and Van Drivers are of the best standard.
They are quick to come up with a solution if we are ever in need of staff at short notice and are flexible to our requirement.
I would recommend Oliver Rae to any other industrial business as no stone goes unturned with them.
Their knowledge of the industry is second to none and their process are simple and fit seamlessly into our business. "

"We have had the pleasure of working with Oliver Rae for our Construction staffing needs, and we couldn't be more satisfied with their service. As a personal and independent recruitment company, they bring a level of dedication and attention to detail that is truly exceptional. They are quick off the mark to supply you with relevant cvs / job profiles on various tradespeople. Oliver Rae understood our unique challenges but didn't shy away from the challenge. They spend a lot of time here on-site and immerse themselves in our company culture to know exactly what it is that we want. Lauren and the team are professional, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate our needs. No matter the time or what day it is - you can always get hold of them.

"Having worked with Lauren and Oliver Rae for almost three years across two companies, I would recommend them to any business within the Commercial Office Moves sector. Their knowledge of the industry is exceptional.
Not only do they supply Porters and Drivers with experience, but they also ensure that workers are fully briefed on the role and what is expected of them before every job. No challenge is too big with them, they are quick off the mark to supply you with the names of those attending whilst ensuring they have replacement staff on stand by should any last-minute jobs come on or if we were to fall short anywhere.
Honesty, transparency, and reliability are all I ask for when working with a Recruitment Agency and Oliver Rae certainly provides me with that."

"Worked with Oliver Rae since the early part of 2021.
Utilising Oliver Rae for Temporary and Permanent staffing across the CNC Setting, CNC Operating, Machining, and any Logistics requirements.
My consultant is Georgia Maund, she takes the time to understand the role that needs to be filled and promptly presents credible candidates for our consideration.
They provide regular updates and follow-ups - even after the candidate has been appointed. Would recommend to other businesses."

"Having reached the end of my tether sifting through many applicants with very poor CVs from online job sites, many interview no-shows, starting new staff only for them to not turn up on day 2 and many other issues I had finally had enough.
At this point I decided to go against my own thoughts to never use an expensive agency and contact Oliver Rae for help, wow, what a service and a complete RAE of sunshine, also happy to learn.
A personal visit within hours of the phone call from the team who were very understanding of my situation and needs, so much so that they already had 2 candidates in mind and 2 very decent interviews were set up for the following day.
Both candidates were of much higher calibre and quality than most of any candidates or CV's seen from previous job advertisements and were exactly what I was looking for, unfortunately I could only take on one of them.
I highly recommend Oliver Rae and will be using forever and a day from now. Thank you for your help."

"Georgia is my consultant at Oliver Rae. My favourite thing about working with them is the standard of candidates have been amazing, we have taken them all on permanently after 12 weeks through the agency. Oliver Rae supply us with Welders, Fabricators, Press Setters, and Steel Workers. They asked me what areas they could improve on but my answer is nothing as of yet. I would definitely recommend them to other businesses."

"Georgia Maund has provided us with excellent service, great communications and response times and is a pleasure to deal with.
Oliver Rae's efficiency in finding the right candidate to fill our recruitment needs has been excellent and has supported our operation massively when required.
I also feel it worth mentioning that we all felt the pinch when it came to available candidates last year, but due to Georgia's hard work, our capability requirements were met in difficult times and I will always be appreciative of this."
